Deploy, upgrade, and operate the Awa Postgres-native job queue and its worker fleet. Use when running database migrations, planning a rolling upgrade, sizing connection pools on managed Postgres, operating the dead-letter queue or cron schedules, driving a storage-engine transition, configuring the awa CLI, or serving the web admin UI.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Awa Operations

Use the awa CLI version that matches the deployed runtime and schema. A binary
refuses a database schema newer than it understands, so operate every database
from a CLI at least as new as the fleet. Read the upgrade note for the exact
version pair before changing anything (`docs/upgrade-0.6-to-0.7.md`,
`docs/upgrade-0.5-to-0.6.md`).

## Connect Safely

`awa` resolves a target in this order: `--database-url` > `--context`
(`AWA_CONTEXT`) > `DATABASE_URL` env > `default_context` in
`~/.config/awa/config.toml`. Every command echoes the resolved target with the
password stripped before acting; confirm it.

Read-only commands may fall back to `DATABASE_URL` or the default context.
Mutating commands refuse to run against an implicit target whenever more than
one context is defined — pass an explicit `--context` or `--database-url`. A
context marked `production = true` prompts for confirmation on a mutating
command; `--yes` skips the prompt, and a non-interactive shell without `--yes`
refuses rather than hanging. An explicit `--database-url` is never treated as
production.

Prefer `url_env` over an inline `url` in config so credentials never sit in the
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hardbyte/awa/awa-operations@sha256:2d2a19202d7f2727

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.61b65e5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
